Cucumis sativus

Item #3135

55 days. Making pickles at home is easy
with Homemade Pickles. This
plant has excellent disease
resistance, very high yields,
and is ready to harvest early.
The 4' compact vines produce
cucumbers for quite a long period;
harvest anywhere from 1 1/2"-5"
long. Perfect interior texture for
pickles, but can also be eaten
fresh. Excellent container variety.

This packet sows two 10-foot
rows of trellised cucumbers.

Harvesting: Do not let cucumbers get too big -
plants stop producing if there are overly mature
cucumbers on the vine. Pick regularly at 1 1/2" to 5"
long. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit to
break off. Once picked, immediately immerse in cold
water to disperse "field heat"; this increases quality
and life of picked fruit.
